Op here. Kid is a healthy weight and not disordered. I suspect it’s peer pressure but she isn’t going to starve herself.[/quote]

Just FYI, my kid was a healthy weight when he started eating "healthy" too.  Two years later he wasn't a healthy weight.  Only in looking back do I see where it started.  In hindsight I would have started counting calories earlier and making sure he ate enough "healthy" fats to keep up his caloric intake.  At the time, I thought it was great he was eating more vegetables and fewer junky carbs, and since everyone in the US is so concerned about the obesity crisis, I was happy he wasn't headed down that road.

OP, treating anorexia is difficult and expensive as hell. They are ALL at healthy weights when they start. Don’t allow even a 5 pound weight loss with this. [/quote]

+1 .  OP, I think me and a few other PPs come in on threads like these and share or experiences with anorexia and eating disorders.  Invariably someone criticizes us saying something like "These posters won't be happy unless everyone is diagnosed with anorexia."

It's not that.  It's just that eating disorders suck and we've been there done that and want to spare you the pain.[/quote]
